About Us

The Selfie Project is an Australian organisation committed to developing the wellbeing and leadership potential of young women.

Our vision is of a world where no girl is limited by their gender and our mission is to educate, inspire and empower girls to exceed their potential and live a life beyond their dreams.

Through our work with girls & young women across the country we have developed the belief & understanding that girls with a strong Sense of Self have a higher self worth, make healthier decisions aligned with their values, have happier relationships, are more confident & step up to leadership challenges in their daily lives.

In 2014, our School program launched in schools across Sydney. Since then, The Selfie Project has partnered with schools in NSW, VIC & QLD as they invest in the emotional health, leadership development and wellbeing of their students.

​

2018 sees international expansion as well as the program being rolled out across all Australian major capital cities. A rural tour is scheuduled for 2019.
